Antoine Pitrou <[email protected]> added the comment: I encountered this issue while debugging some multiprocessing code; fork() would be called from one thread while sys.stdout was in use in another thread (simply because of a couple of debugging statements). As a result the IO lock would be already "taken" in the child process and any operation on sys.stdout would deadlock.
This is definitely something that can happen more easily than I thought. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <[email protected]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6721> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
